The chatterbox in me

Well… it’s been a while I haven’t been blogging, right till I read the focus on blogging in The Star today. That gave me the determination to not abandon here too long. 

Nothing interesting has happened these days. I’m still on my 3 months’ break. 2 more weeks to go… though it’s been long..but I don’t feel the desire to get back to studies. Been enjoying idling at home. Well, I did work and the project’s finished.

On the other hand, my idling is not completely idling. I make it a point to achieve something everyday. Like learning some new Deutsch or Jap vocabs each day, practising the guitar, swim, proceed with the book I’m reading, bake, meet up with a friend, club…

Unfortunately, everything’s been moving too slowly, and there’s a few pull backs here and there.

• Deutsch and Jap…still ok but learning by myself is much tougher than I imagined it to be. To learn a new language, I need to have access to both visual and audio resources and of course someone to guide me. For Deutsch.. there’s the gender for every nouns to consider.. der N,die N,das N.. as for Jap, still doing fine but Kanji takes time. After all, I can’t remember everything I’ve gone through. 

• I’ve been learning the guitar from a book for awhile but the progress is sad. There’s no meaning in learning to strum when I don’t sing along. Strumming is meant as song accompaniments.The problem is that book provides old songs such as Wonderful Tonight, Jolene, Sailing, Brown Eyed Girl, Like A Rolling Stone… How am I supposed to sing when I don’t even know how the songs sound… A total fallback. Anyone can help me out with this. Or recommend me to a legal music download site? .Thanks in advance. 

• Right now, I’m trying to grasp the butterfly stroke. The coolest stroke among all. Still in the process of strengthening the body trunk. This stroke requires a strong trunk to create a good fly. 

• Ugghh.. this is pathetic. I haven’t read even half the book and now I’m giving up. The sad thing is it’s not borrowed but bought for RM20.  Though it’s at a reduced price, but having bought a book to keep is totally out of the question. This book is damn boring - too much of descriptions and characters, a mixture of classic and history. That’s the 600 over paged book by John Irving - A Prayer For Owen Meany. Just a few days back, I browsed through my shelf and looked for some substitutes… and got myself Nancy Drew series-brown paged books given by a relative many years back. 

• Baking… how many times have I baked this break? hmm..that’s a 1,2,3..lost count 7or 8 times. Ok ler, still can see improvement. I’m proud to announce that my chiffon cake’s successful at last! On the other hand, my bread baking still needs some experiment. 

• Meeting up with friends once in a while though not regularly. The same applies to clubbing. Not a clubbing fan yet.

Other time of the day, watch tv…daydream, binge…get into an argument, surf the net, nose around at friendster, lock up in the room, show up at malls, disturb others with smses…
